Just finished this fun little looping animation for a website: Linkypoo (http://www.carm3d.net/Media/MailSting/Wasp.htm)

Cheers!

Some VERY nice movement there!
:thumbsup:
Any particular reason you avoided the yellow and black stripey arse for the wasp?

Cool animation, Carm! Can you give us some info on how you got the lighting effect moving down the body? And how about the force waves?

I like your web site, by the way, very interesting, Really like the menu, especially the "About Carmen" selection, very funny!

Very nice. The only thing about it's movement that bugs :) me are the legs act like limp noodles, like they would if they were heavy. I think in real life, their legs respond with a little more ridgidity. A nice anim none the less. I really like the light effect. :thumbsup:

I would agree if the animation would be intended to mimic a real bug, which clearly isn't the goal. :)

That's a shame. I though the goal was to make it act realistic even though it's not photo realistic. Better than most I've seen. :)
